Project

introduce the fundamental components of the Java programming language, including object-oriented programming (OOP) principles and the base language features. The Core Java course is designed to empower students with a robust understanding of Java programming, cultivating essential skills for software development. The primary goal is to equip participants with the knowledge to design and implement Java applications efficiently.

Abstraction, encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance are the four main theoretical principles of object-oriented programming. But Java also works with three further OOP concepts: association, aggregation, and composition.

Java encompasses various editions, and Core Java is an integral component within one such edition. Through grasping the core concepts, beginners forge a solid understanding, paving the way for a comprehensive comprehension of the broader Java programming language.
